First off, I realize that I seem to be flipping around driver nicknames like they were Sean Combs. I admit I'm trying to find something that sticks for these folks and while I pretty much do this on my own I always appreciate feedback.
As I said before: I'm trying to discern something about each driver to make them a bit more memorable and personal to the casual fan. If the league won't market these talents then I gladly and imperfectly will do my part.
OK, that said...after at least 10 uniterupted minutes of contemplation I am flipping Tony Kannan back to El Nariz. Since Stallone had to go and make a movie about and old Rocky, I thought that was the wrong message about Kanaan. He's far from washed up, and his nose is his thing.
And after numerous complaints about his long-standing, weather-related nickname I have finally figured out a better nickname for my fellow Phoenician. Due to his penchant for both "lead sleds" and the flatbill cap, I realized he's slowly morphing into former Monster Garage host (and current Mr. Sandra Bullock) Jesse James.
Speaking of tough guys, Jeff Simmons (who still needs a nickname) appears to be barely getting by these days. I mean, the guy has lost the shirt off his back. Yikes!

Loyalty is not prevalent in motorsports. I don’t care if you’re talking
about IndyCar, Formula one, NASCAR, NHRA, IMSA or USAC. That goes for
drivers, crew...

maybe The Terminator for Simmons given the shades.
Whoa, Simmons is hot!
